  1. For the red chile paste: Place the Fresno chilies, garlic, red onion, bay leaves, and cilantro leaves into a food processor and process into a fine paste. Scrape into a mixing bowl and reserve. Return the food processor bowl to its base. Do not rinse.

  2. For the green chile sauce: Char and blacken the poblanos over the burner of gas stovetop or under the broiler with the oven door ajar to allow steam to escape. Place the peppers in a bowl to cool, covered with plastic wrap , then peel and seed.

  3. Meanwhile, in a saute pan over medium-high heat, add a good drizzle of vegetable oil . Cook the tomatillos, onion, and garlic until the onions are tender, about 8 to10 minutes. Place the onions and tomatillos in the food processor with the charred poblanos, cilantro , cumin, honey, lime juice, and salt. Puree sauce and adjust seasoning.

  4. Combine the ground beef and ground pork with the red chile paste and season with salt and pepper. Form 8 (3-inch) patties that are thinner at the center and thicker at the edges. Heat a griddle pan or large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of vegetable oil to the pan and cook the burgers, about 3 minutes on each side. Leave in the skillet.

  5. In a small skillet over medium heat, reheat the spicy refried beans with a splash of water to thin them out a bit.

  6. Top the burgers with green chile sauce and a few chips. Top the chips with refried beans , shredded cheese, and pickled jalapenos. Tent the pan with foil to melt the cheese, 1 minute. Serve nacho sliders on slider or brioche rolls.
